Buxton Client Palm Coast, Florida, Begins Retail Recruitment Process
Fort Worth, Texas (PRWEB) October 27, 2015 -- After partnering with Buxton to understand its retail potential, the city of Palm Coast, Florida, has started an intensive retail recruitment process. Buxton’s advanced consumer analytics have identified businesses that match the shopping and dining habits of consumers in Palm Coast’s trade area. Based on Buxton’s analysis, city leaders have pinpointed retailers they wish to bring to the area.
While retail economic development programs have traditionally relied on basic demographic information, Palm Coast’s retail attraction program is utilizing consumer insights that go beyond demographics, presenting a convincing case to retailers seeking growth opportunities. Buxton’s proprietary web-based real estate platform, SCOUT®, gives city leaders the ability to analyze retail matches, support existing retailers and optimize development decisions.
“Palm Coast is poised for additional retail development,” commented Beau Falgout, city administration coordinator for Palm Coast. “Working with Buxton allows us to maintain our strong development momentum as we lay a foundation for future population growth.”
“Palm Coast is sending retailers a clear message that it is open for business,” said Cody Howell, vice president and general manager of Buxton’s public sector division. “Buxton is pleased to support the city’s targeted retail recruitment efforts.”
Buxton has worked with more than 700 communities nationwide to implement retail development strategies. Clients include Pasadena, California; Oak Park, Illinois; Rochester, New Hampshire and others.
